Is it too late to make opening a rectangle? Frame and drywall.

the wall is made of cement and the staircase has marble, so doing some changes will affect the marble and then more expensive.

If your home is under construction why not just fill in the hole?

HI -- I think if you put an Indian style screen that is much bigger than the opening over it will be a very nice feature .

hi felizlady, you are right we made this gap so that lit comes in. actually i am not just sure if i need a hand rail over there. but if you can point to some pictures that can show how hand rail will look like, it would be really great. thanks

I agree withblenheimnewzealand

I think a decorative screen would look beautiful there!

You have a railing on the other side, so I think a screen is the right way to go. Clearly too hard to close up, although that would have been my first choice (can always add lights!)...

A book case or decorative scrren would be wonderful

you are thinking about the space right now. it looks odd, no doubt.

1) when you fill in with the furniture, just make sure the three steps are hidden.

2) consider three potted plants of different height, so the rectangle is complete.

3) glass bowl with Siamese fighting fish for each step

4) figurines of different heights

5) 2inch square wooden bar on each step up to the top of the rectangle. and complete the entire rectangle if you want with a smaller rectangle open in the center

my suggestion is, there is a reason why this space ended up like this. it will look great once you put something there. things like these are what make your house unique.

Hi,even i liked your concept very much...i have introduced this concept of home entry hallway having a large window on drawing wall opposite of foyer...its purpose is to give the glimpse of the sofa seating and the room while coming inside the house....im finding many ways to decorate both walls in such a way so it looks symetrical and impressive...may b pic gives a better idea from hallway and inside drawing room....suggestions r welcome

U can make book self there or make designer storage there in wooden where u Cn put small stuff which looks really nice
